Three Days of the Condor (Kinowelt/Arthaus/StudioCanal)

[LazerTron]

German Title: Die Drei Tage des Condors

I was able to take a really quick glimpse into this 18th of September release yesterday.

Comes in a digipak with sleeve and a 20-page booklet, is region locked AB, languages and subtitles are only changeable from the menu not during the movie.

I flipped through the film to get a feeling for picture quality (needs more viewing without time constraint):
- soft graining visible (+)
- sharpness could be better at times
- when focussing the background, the foreground is very noise at times (especially indoor shots)
- night shots tend to be a bit too noisy
- blacks are not very saturated
On Blu-ray.com's scale, I would rate picture quality with a 3.5.

I was not able to test the DTS sound last night, feels ok, voices clearly understandable - needs more listening without time constraint.

Out of the bonus material, I just watched the original trailer which is not in HD and here the difference between the film in 1080p and this trailer in (maybe) DVD quality is really enormous.

The Kinowelt release definitely beets anything released on DVD for sure but it's bought dearly with at about 26 Euro.
